Healthy Apple Muffins
Grain-free apple cinnamon muffins with no added sweetener! These moist and delicious apple cinnamon muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized ripe bananas 1 cup mashed
- 1 medium-sized apple peeled and grated
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups finely ground almond flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour optional*
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tray with 9 muffin papers.
- Mash the bananas in a measuring cup until very creamy. Be sure you have around 1 cup of mashed banana. Transfer the mashed banana to a mixing bowl and add the eggs and grated apple. Whisk everything together until very well-combined.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, stir together the almond flour, sea salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until combined. Transfer the flour mixture to the mixing bowl with the banana-apple mixture and stir well until combined.
- Fill the muffin holes up ¾ of the way full with muffin batter. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and feel firm when gently poked. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of one of the muffins. They are fully cooked if they are 190 degrees F or higher. Allow muffins to cool at least 30 minutes before unwrapping.
Notes
*While the tapioca flour is not mandatory, it results in a more traditional muffin texture. Without it, the muffins are a little grainy, and with it, they taste like they are made with regular flour.
For sweeter muffins, add 1 to 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, maple sugar, or coconut sugar to the recipe.
